Description
Also known as Reticulated Moray.
Found singly, in amongst corasl, rocks, and rubble areas, of muddy rock reefs.
They feed nocturnally on cephalopods, fish, shrimps.
Can "take a fancy to divers" if they are not careful.
Length - 60cm
Depth - 10-80m
Widespread Western Atlantic, Caribbean
Morays open and close their mouths to move water through their gills for respiration.
This behaviour can often be seen as a threat especially towards divers, in fact this is far from the truth, they are very shy creatures and will only attack if provoked! Ref: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/2618
